Al Sharpton's PoliticsNation featured shocking public confirmations regarding the Florida Republican Party and its new voter ID laws push. Former GOP party Chairman Jim Greer (in sworn testimony) confirmed that party strategists met on voter registration strategies with the full intent to suppress Blacks, Latinos, and other minorities from voting in Florida come Nov. Former Florida GOP Chairman Greer said -- live on air -- "There's no doubt that what the Republican led legislature in Florida and Governor Scott are trying to do is make sure the Republican party has an advantage in this upcoming election by reducing early voting and putting roadblocks up for potential voters, Latinos, African Americans to register and then to exercise their right to vote. There's no doubt. I was in the room. It's part of the strategy."
[DoJ and Holder must act NOW, not after NOV.]
